I go through a 30ml bottle of 18-24mg juice every 2 weeks, give or take a day or so. So about 15ml per week for me as well. And I always order one bottle at a time like an idiot. Next order, Im gonna get 4 so I wont have to order for about 2 months.
wow. I had one of my batts finally fall apart just a week ago but it was nothing like that. Would really like to know what kind--and would bet on an over-the-counter knockoff.
I'd be forever grateful if you PM me your results when you try it....
The cynic in me wonders if this story is the creation of tobacco group propoganda against the competing product. BTW - 1 Year as of 2/12/12... not so much as a drag of a cigarette.
Cherry pickin here as to what I can answer. Loved the eGo-t--it worked for me immediately. From what y'all post though it's a very mild smoke. Love the Wicked Vapors, and my go-to's were/are Cappaccino, Karmel Karmel, Toffee and Dulce de Leche. They seem to be a thicker juice and that's why I stayed with them--the V4L's burnt my throat with the eGo-t. I'm not in it for the long haul. Will probably buy another e-cig since my last batt fell apart a few weeks ago but not smoking them anymore and on the rare occasions it's 0-nic. If you're looking for a heavy vapor then this might not be for you but I was looking to quit when I got into this so I'm really pleased. "messy/leaky?" You'll want to blow out the batt every couple weeks according to use.
I just got the ego-t after a year of v4l type batts. After a few weeks ditched their carrtidge/atomizer thing (just didn't work well, especially for thicker juices) for a Volcano tube tank. So far it's been a great decision. I haven't had any problem with leaking or being messy.
Probably start them off with a tobacco flavor, either regular or menthol, depending on what they currently smoke. It seems like the easiest transition is to start with the tobacco flavors, and then let the person choose the non-tobacco flavors that they would like to try. In other news, I didn't get a chance to post at the time, but I am now at 1yr and 11 days.Thinking about getting a V4L starter kit for a family member. What flavors would you guys get for someone if you were going to give it as a gift in hopes of gettting them hooked? A tobacco flavor to start, or a coffee/fruity flavor? Congrats to those who have beaten analogs - I'm not a smoker and don't pretend to know how difficult it is to stop but I know it's very tough.
I hear the ego batteries are solid, but the tank system really blows. You might just want to get some ego batteries and LR atomizers.I think my Buzz pro is great. It's really versatile. I can do Low resistance, high voltage, dual coil tanks, and everything in between. Setting voltage is really easy and it's got a ton of protection built in. Of course I had to send mine in last week for repairs, but it was really my fault I broke the positive lead. The Kick was released Saturday and I picked two up. This will give me regulated wattage control on my silver bullet and REO Grande. I should get them in the next few days.I also went to a Vape Meet in Dayton on Sarurday. I met some of the guys from altsmoke, Vaporcast store, and Juicy Vapor. I also won a Blue dual coil tank. They had a bunch of juice samples and I got to see a bunch of really cool devices. You might want to check one out in your area.
They sold out at Nhaler in 22 minutes. I was stuck at the mall when I got the email so I went to the apple store to buy them. They should be going on sale today at altsmoke, electronic stix and super T. You should get one. I'm sure when they are sold out they'll go for twice what they cost on the classifieds. You'll need the aw18490 battery to use in your REO.
My worry is that it won't work well in the REO - isn't it built for tube mods?They sold out at Nhaler in 22 minutes.

It's designed to be the same height as an 18650 when combined with a 18490. The REO will need a slight modification since the kick needs something to ground to. I'll probably just run some conductive metal from the spring to the kick. Some people said they will strip some of the anodizing off, but I would like to avoid that. I'll let you know if it works.My worry is that it won't work well in the REO - isn't it built for tube mods?They sold out at Nhaler in 22 minutes.

So it's ready to be rocked in a Silver Bullet? I may have to knock the dust off mine and give it a try.It's designed to be the same height as an 18650 when combined with a 18490.

It's silver bullet ready. You just drop it in on top a IMR 18490 and you've got regulated wattage control. I even spoke with Rob from Altsmoke and he said in about 4 weeks hell be selling new sleeves so you can use an 18650 with the Kick in a silver bullet.So it's ready to be rocked in a Silver Bullet?

The Apollo V tube is a beginner VV mod. It dials down your voltage if your pulling too many amps. It can be a pain if you want to use LR or Dual Coil Cartomizer. For example, if your using a 1.5 ohm atomizer and you want to use it at 4.2 volts, it will dial it down to 3.3 volts. The Provari used to just give an error message if you went over 2.5 amps, but they have V2 that can go up to 3.5 amps. All the new Provaris are V2.The Prodigy is not VV. It's just a mechanical mod. The battery is also not that common. You don't see a whole bunch of devices that use a 17670 battery. If I was going to get a tube, I would definitely get something that took an 18650 so I could drop a Kick in it. I would much rather get a Silver Bullet, or an Omega (mechanical button).
Gotcha, I think I'm going to skip the regular tubes and go straight to step 3. Variable Voltage. Otherwise, in 6 months/a year, I'm sure I'll be thinking about it.
Same here. The original passthru I got with my starter kit 13 months ago is still going strong, I use it in my work vehicle every day. I buy a new battery every couple of months (I keep 3 working batteries at a time), and go through 5 or 6 carts a month, all from V4L. Its working fine for me, so theres no need to move to the next level.
The $167 price comes with the charger and one set of batteries. You'll probably want to get at least one more set of Batteries so you can still vape while the one set is charging. You will need atomizers and drip tips. I would suggest getting them from Avidvapor or Ikenvape. They have the best atomizers and are recognized as the top two atomizer distributors. Depending on how hot you want to vape. You probably want to get around 2.5 ohm atomizers. I would suggest you get some 510 and 306 atomizers. Both will need their own specially designed drip tips. I'm not sure what you currently use. If you have 808's you can still use the cartomizers if you get a 510-808 adapter.'KGB said:
I'd go with a tobacco sampler and a coffee sampler for sure. I say tobacco sampler only because a smoker will probably want to start there, but in all likelihood will move on from them quickly. More important is to figure out what strength to get. What type of cigs does this person smoke, and how frequently?Thinking about getting a V4L starter kit for a family member.

I got 44% earlier. Just ordered a few things last week @ 40% off (V4L Family sale), but couldnt pass up the 44%. Picked up a ocuple of new juices to try, including the blackjack berry USA juice (7ml) which came to about $3 after discount. Ill try just about any 7ml juice for $3 
I would put like 7 drops in a new atomizer. You might need a little more at first. Then I usually go. 3-4 at a time . I don't know what atomizer your using. If it already a little wet, that's primer and you want to blow that out or it will taste like crap. As far as dripping goes your going to need to figure out what to do that works best for your atomizer. Toouch and it will leak and too little you get dry hits. I'm a little of an over dripper so I use drip shields to keep them from leaking
That seems to be the $64,000 question. There isn't much you can do. I've been on 0 nicotine for a while now and the only thing I could find that even comes close is adding menthol crystals. I didn't even smoke menthol analogs, but it does help.Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer, but I'm not sure there is one.'Hoos First said:
I've added ever clear and it didn't work for me. Menthol works good . Another option is adding Koolada. You can get it from the perfumers apprentice. There are also some pepper extracts you can use. Totally Wicked has something called Diablo Loco that is a pepper extract.'Hoos First said:
Im using the same mg. Never too much TH, but sometimes it is stronger than other times. Guess my throat is just use to it now.
I like menthol in some things, but if I want a throat hit I'll use higher nic or increase my wattage. More nic or heat is really the best way to go for throat hit. I'm not familiar with the ego kit you have but if you want to increase your wattage you might want to try low resistance atomizers or cartomizers. That is only if your ego can handle LR. I know some can and some can't.
Actually Ive noticed the higher nic seems to work for certain flavors, but not others. I buy all of my juice from V4L, and the Apple WOW juice has a great TH at 24-36mg, but the Cappucino TH seems to be about the same whether its 18 or 36mg.
My $.02 on best TH: The 18 mg that give me the best TH are Bananas Foster and Red Energy juices. Premium Chocolate Banana carts are probably 3rd (but the juice isn't the same IMHO). Irish Creme gives a sharp TH, but not a robust one (if that makes any sense).Actually Ive noticed the higher nic seems to work for certain flavors, but not others.

I'll start sampling today.
So true.I'm still completely happy with my routine... V4L XL manual batteries, Bloog cartomizers, V4L juice. I've accumulated so ridiculously many flavored cartomizers and juice bottles gathering dust in my tackle box, I'm afraid to buy any more.
